Listen to my voice.

Chapter 6.

"Do you guys want me to pick you up tomorrow?" asked their mother on the other end of the line.

Thom smiled, though Veronica couldn't see it "if it's not too much trouble, that would be great."

A soft chuckle was heard.

"No bother, guys."

"Harley, your mom is the best!" squealed Alei "by the way Mrs. Veronica, there's something your daughter hasn't told you."

"Veronica is perfect, ma'am makes me feel old" sighed "what hasn't Ley told me?"

the chestnut and Thom denied to which her friend nodded effusively.

"Harley and Thom are married! we're not a dysfunctional family anymore!"

her mother shrieked "what do you mean they got married!!! they didn't invite me to the wedding!"

"Mom, Alei was just kidding right?"

"No."

Thom gave the redhead a dirty look "In town there was a fair and a certain friend of mine made us go to the registry office."

"Uh, uh" she denied amused "but still, they got married, and they didn't even invite me, that counts as treason. They got married on the sly, I wasn't going to refuse the wedding."

they laughed amused.

"Wedding? what wedding?" a fourth voice was heard on the phone "are you talking to Harley?"

"Yes, and Harley married Thom!"

a squeak was heard "and he didn't invite us!!!?"

"That's what I told him!"

"Too bad, Harley, you don't do that to a friend!" the friends had a smile on their faces, they had missed talking to her "oh, that's why they went out before high school! because they wanted to get married on the sly!"

"No!" they were quick to say "we got married at a fair."

"same! I wasn't invited!" he took a breath "at least they recorded the moment!"

The redhead nodded to which Thom gave her a lapo "Ouch and why is that?"

"We're on a call, they can't see you."

"Oh, that's right" river "yeah, I got the whole moment on tape! Thom even bought her a ring!"

all three boys rested their gazes on the gold ring that adorned her hand, no doubt it was a beautiful ring, before they were married, Alei told him it wouldn't be valid if he didn't buy her a ring, so they both wore one.

"Did he buy her a ring?" they both asked "we need to see it!"

Harley accepted the video call, seeing her mother and Olivia in the hospital, they let out a little gasp at the sight of the two rings.

"What are you doing at the hospital, Liv?" asked Harley "Oh, you went to see your uncle, didn't you?"

He nodded "yep, but then I heard something about a wedding and your voice, and the gossip called me."

The boys play offended "I thought you missed us."

"I miss you guys."

After a few more minutes chatting they said goodbye and headed to a restaurant.

They ordered dinner, while waiting for it Harley went to the bathroom, apologizing to his friends.

When she was washing her hands, small whispers began to sound, Ley opened the door and headed down a hallway out the back door.

When she came out of her trance, Harley let out a sigh looking to the side, but as she did so she was scared to death, a rather tall boy was standing a few feet away from her.

"f**k . . . " she whispered in fright, catching her breath.

The boy started to approach.

"I didn't mean to scare you" he said with no emotion on his face, he was so intimidating.

She merely nodded "It's okay."

"You shouldn't be outside."

She looked at him curious "Why?"

"No place is safe."

"What do you mean?"

"They were following them in the morning."

"How. . . ."

"Your friends are looking for you, you should go."

And without further ado he disappeared leaving the girl confused, she shook her head and headed back to the table where she was minutes before.

"Ley! Are you all right?" asked the red-haired girl.

"Yeah, just" the door uttered a sound as it was opened and the same boy appeared " . . . that boy has a mysterious touch don't you think?" he spoke shoving a spoonful into his mouth.

Her friends turned to the direction she was looking and grimaced as they saw nothing.

"What boy?"

"The one who just walked by."

"Harley, no one just walked by."

She looked at them amused but when she saw the serious faces of her friends she paled "What? What are they saying? Of course a boy just walked in!"

"No, Ley, no one has come in" Thom spoke carefully.

The girl watched the boy and he gave her a smile and nodded.

"Only you can see me."

"What the hell, you really can't see it?"

They denied "no, Ley."

"s**t, I think I'm really tired and starting to hallucinate."

The boy denied "you can see dead people."

"Are the whispers from them?" he mumbled.

He nodded "yes, Harley. We've been your whole life with you, you just don't remember."

"Why?"

"They took away your memories."

Their friends watched as the chestnut muttered things inaudible to them, looking up so suddenly the boys gasped.

"I can see dead people" the boys opened their mouths but didn't know what to say to which the girl continued "and I think they erased my memories."

[ . . . ]

Harley took the computer out of her backpack- when she got to the room- she was really surprised by everything she read, she always wished that what she read in her fantasy books were real to a point, giving her hope that everything was reality, but not everything was like in the books.

Banshee:

Banshee are women with a strong connection to death, this network would be composed of "banshee whispers" linked to death or those who are going to die. They can predict the death of those around them and even connect (to some extent) with those who have already died through this network.

Banshees, although supernatural creatures, are not seen as such.

They are connected to the supernatural, it manifests through them, but they are not controlled by it. They are unaffected by the barriers created with Cerbal Ash, being able to cross them without problem.

This connection with death leads them to bond with and perceive death at a very high level. Banshee seem to feel a strong attraction to death, perceiving multiple voices with intensity in places where massacres or very traumatic events have occurred.

Banshee possesses a "sonic scream", capable of damaging the auditory systems of enemies and causing physical vibrations. He is named after the soul in pain, a legendary ghost from Irish mythology, said to possess a powerful scream.

A mutant with superhuman vocal cords, throat and lungs that allow him to create powerful sonic waves with his voice, as well as being able to use echolocation. Thanks to her manipulation of sonic frequencies, Banshee was also able to fly.

"That's amazing, huh."

Harley startled at the sound of his voice, and looks at the boy sitting on Thom's bed- his friends were asleep half an hour ago- the boy had a smile on his face.

"He's dangerous too though, he'll bring you more trouble than you think, but don't worry, we'll be looking out for you."

She gave him a sincere smile "thank you. what's your name?"

Memories flashed through the boy's mind "I'm Tyler, or well, was" he let out a slight laugh.

"Nice name. And you are, I see you and that's enough, we'll be great friends."

His eyes took on a twinkle "Are you serious or is that just so I don't feel bad?"

"I mean it."

"You must beware of the other spirits, there are evil beings. Always carry a little salt, if you make them disappear."

"Thank you."

Werewolves:

Werewolves or Werewomen are a species of supernatural creatures that have the ability to change their form from human to wolf or a combination of the two.

The children of a Werewolf are born with the same condition (if both are of the same species) but will be converted upon reaching the age of eighteen.

Werewolves have enhanced abilities than a normal human being. The following abilities are present in all Werewolves, even when they are in their human form.

Heightened Senses: Werewolves can see, smell and smell much better than humans.

Accelerated Healing: Werewolves can heal from most wounds faster.

Improved Agility: Werewolves can run, climb, jump and react faster than a normal human.

Enhanced Strength: Werewolves are stronger than a normal human.

They have weakness to the following elements:

Aconite: Derived from a plant, it is the main weakness for a Werewolf. Depending on the amount, it can cause general weakness, hallucinations, and even death.

Serbal Ash: Also known as Mountain Ash, it is a powder that can repel supernatural creatures, creating a barrier. It can also cause hallucinations and modify behavior.

Mistletoe: This plant has been shown to be toxic to werewolves and humans.

And silver.

"There are some flaws but it's not something I can't explain to you" Tyler spoke "there are three classifications, the omegas, the betas and the alpha. In the town you live in everyone is a pack."

"What do you mean?" she asked surprised to which he nodded.

"Sure, they're not all werewolves, there are witches, Banshee, werewolves and humans."

"Humans? They don't know that do they?"

Deny "no, they don't know and it's something that plays against them, as they are in constant danger."

"What about vampires?"

"They exist. But we don't get along so well shall we say."

"Why?"

"They're in constant fights."

"Oh, wow."

"It wasn't always like that, we used to have a deal, we looked out for each other but everything changed since that day."

Harley wanted to ask since what day, but seeing the sad look on the boy's face he didn't want to probe further.

Vampires:

A vampire or "scion" is an undead endowed with enormous strength and power, they feed and survive on the blood of the living, usually human blood, and who can transform other humans into more of their kind.

A vampire can lift humans high off the ground by the throat and break their necks, cut off a person's head with its bare hands, and remove internal organs such as the heart with little or no effort. Their strength is also more powerful than that of werewolves in human form. Their strength allows them to jump higher and farther than any natural creature. Vampires that feed on humans are stronger than those that feed on the blood of animals.

They are much faster than werewolves in human form. Vampires can accelerate their movements to cover short distances in an instant. Their reflexes are similarly heightened. Like their strength, their speed increases with age.

They possess superhuman agility, can move, jump very high, climb and run very fast and without difficulty or exhaustion. Vampires that feed on human blood can be more agile than vampires that feed on the blood of animals. This ability also increases with age.

They have acute senses of hearing, sight and smell that surpass those of humans and werewolves. They can hear conversations in a low voice. They can also smell blood from several meters away, and see in total darkness.

"Yes, that's why humans should be careful."

He nodded.

Witch:

Naturals : people who are born with the gift to do magic. Pupils : normal people who learn to do magic and become witches/warlocks. Borrowers: people who sell their soul to a demon to do magic (satanic witches/warlocks) .

Hunter:

Hunters are people who suffered from the supernatural or children of hunters and are determined to carry the impossible idea of wiping out everything supernatural. They seem to possess minimal mystical knowledge and some allies among the monsters, usually by force.

Wendigo:

Degenerate, white, pointy-eared beings with immense strength and speed, born of someone who eats too much human flesh. They can imitate human voices and only fire kills them. They cannot pass over a magic anasazi circle. They keep their victims alive to eat them when they are hungry.

Transformer:

A transformer is a creature that can take any form (features, s*x, race, race, age . . . ) of any person, even movie monsters, by removing their skin. The only way to distinguish them is with a camera or in the dark, as their eyes glow yellowish, green or purple depending on the lighting. They are sensitive to silver and like to live in sewers and subways.When a metamorph transforms into a person they not only take on their physical appearance, but also their memories and thoughts, at least as long as you keep them alive. They die by being pierced with silver, metal that also burns them.

Fuck, it all seemed like a f*****g joke.

No matter how much I read I still couldn't figure out what the shadows were. I'd have time.

"Hey, Tyler."

"Yeah?"

"Uh . . ." she scratched the back of her neck nervously "Are there any creatures that can revive?"

He was surprised and gave her a smile "There are, yes, but they expend a lot of energy and could die trying."

"What creature is it?" he asked putting the computer away then sitting down in an Indian pose.

"Creatures that are related to death or powerful sorcerers."

"Those that control the earth have to do with death?"

"They are elementals."

"Elementals?"

"Yes, they handle the elements of earth, fire, air, water and earth."

"Wow, there are several creatures."

"There are."

"Are there mermaids?"

"Yes, but they're not like you think. They're hideous."

"Oh, well, I'm glad I haven't seen them. And tell me, how long have you been in the world of the dead?"

"Three years now."

"So you're saying I could get you to come back?"

"You could but you won't."

He frowned "Why?"

"Because it's too risky."

"Nothing will happen, I promise."

the sun rose announcing that it was dawn, she ran her hands over her face, she hadn't slept at all, but it was worth it, she already knew about it and more importantly, she already knew what she was.

A Banshee.

She didn't know whether to be happy or sad, she could help people by warning them about their future but she didn't want to be the one to warn them that they would die.

Did she really like the idea of being a supernatural being?

Maybe it wasn't a good idea to come to that town, maybe she would have preferred to stay in her old town with her friends, but maybe there is no such thing.

And if things had turned out that way, he would not have met wonderful people, and he had a reason to stay.

I had a reason to bring Tyler back to life.

She didn't know him at all, but he was the only person who gave her answers and she was grateful for that.

What had been announced hours before, her memories had been erased, but how, she couldn't understand why someone would erase her memories, she asked Tyler, but there are things he can't tell her, because it would get her into big trouble, not only him but it would involve the chestnut.

A cell phone rang, bringing Ley out of his thoughts, Tyler approached the night table and grimaced.

"It's your mom, I think you're in trouble" he crooned amused, clearly he knew better.

the girl bit her lip "why would she be upset?" she thought quietly "surely she already found out that I skipped several classes the day we came to town, I knew I should have told her the whole truth."

he laughs "just kidding, I'm sure she's already arrived to pick them up don't you think?"

"right! he was going to come pick us up!"

he quickly answered the call.

"Good morning, mom."

"Good morning, honey, we'll be there in half an hour."

she frowned "arriving?"

"yes, Dereck and Olivia are here too" a few whispers were heard on the other end of the line and the girl's voice rang out "hello, Ley!"

she laughed "Hi, Liv."

and so they were talking for about fifteen more minutes, the girl got her friends up, when the clock struck eight in the morning a car parked in front of the hotel.

The four boys got out-though only one of them could see it-they thanked the receptionist for her hospitality to which she gave them a smile telling them that she hoped they had a pleasant evening.

The twins and their mother were waiting for them outside the van, after a very effusive greeting-only from Olivia and Veronica-as Dereck was indifferent to what had happened, the girls squealed at the sight of the wedding rings.

"They really got married!"

apparently that caught the attention of a certain bluish-eyed "who got married?"

Alei smiled malevolently, she had seen the looks he was giving her chestnut friend and would be only too happy to tease him.

"didn't you hear?" she denied obviously "too bad, you see yesterday Thom and Harley got married we're not a dysfunctional family anymore! isn't that great?"

he looked at her blankly, to which she rolled her eyes, and explained from them being his foster parents, the ice cream shop to finishing showing them the video.

Dereck looked at everything with a frown on his face and a little uncomfortable, that didn't go unnoticed by Alei so she smiled internally, she loved to annoy him and even more knowing that she was aware of having stained her favorite dress on the date with her platonic love, yes, she was very spiteful, although no one blames her, since she had arrived more than half an hour late.

After the explanation, Dereck climbed into the passenger seat, while the other four boys got into the second row, not to mention Tyler got in the trunk.

Veronica looked at her daughter in the rearview mirror "how was your day yesterday?"

"Great!" exclaimed Alei to which Thom cleared his throat a little "well not so great, but if we take out the part where we left Thom's car Great!"

"Leave Thom's car?" asked Dereck keeping his eyes straight ahead.

"That's what I said, silly. Yesterday when we were being followed the tire went flat and well, we left the car somewhere."

Dereck overlooked her calling him a fool and looked at Harley telling her "no that nothing would happen." , the girl rolled her eyes.

"What are you going to tell your parents?" asked Liv "your car was too expensive."

the redhead let out a laugh "they won't tell her anything!. They have money left over, they could buy you twenty cars of the same model and it would be like buying candy."

Thom grimaced "yeah, but that doesn't mean they'll just waste money just like that" he looked at Olivia "if I tell them the truth they won't believe me, I'll call the insurance."

"how, not that they didn't know where he was?" asked the other twin.

"we don't know, but Thom can hack into their car's system" spoke Ley looking out the window "and they can't steal it, it has security measures we just couldn't take it because of the crash and the tire."

Olivia let out a sigh "rich thing."

"Well, technically my parents are the rich ones, I'm just the son."

"Still humble" complimented the blonde.

"I don't mean to sound rude but what are you guys doing here, don't you have classes?"

the twins looked at Alei "well we have classes, just like you but we asked for permission" spoke the blue-eyed one downplaying the importance.

"okeeeey, but I asked what you guys are doing here."

he bit his lips not to let out a swear word "we came just in case, we don't want anything to happen to them, well to them, not to you."

her sister gave her a smack on the head "you're joking, always such a joker" she blurted out nervously to which her brother looked at her bored.

"Will you tell your mom you found out what you are?" spoke Tyler.

The girl turned her face and looked at him "what do you recommend?" she whispered.

She didn't want everyone to hear her, she knew they wouldn't look at her funny since she told them about the whispers but maybe they would ask for explanations which she preferred to avoid.

"I don't know, that's your call. Though I think we should wait, rumors spread fast, and they might find out that you already awakened your power and there if we'd be in trouble."

he nodded.

"Shtriga" he managed to hear whispers.

Harley looked at Tyler and he nodded, he had heard it too.

The girl reached for her cell phone.

Shtriga:

An Albanian witch , she can pass for human and feeds on people's life energy, especially children because they have more, leaving them in a coma. They can only die if they are shot with a consecrated iron bullet while feeding. Their mere touch causes the wood to rot.

By feeding on life force, the Shtriga can live for a long period of time, the limits of this are unknown.

can remain immortal by sucking the life force of children, they can drain the life force of humans of any age, but prefer children.the life force that Shtrigas suck is called "Spiritus Vitae" with in Latin means "breath of life". Because of this, their hand impressions, cause the wood to rot. When they die, the life force they stole will return all the children still alive.Shtrigas are very difficult to kill. They cannot be killed with normal weapons like normal bullets and knives.

During the day, a Shtriga can change shape into a human, so hunters will not be able to detect the witch. At night, the Shtriga can transform to their witch form. They usually take the form of old women, but this is not a rule.

I look confused at the information, what did she have to do with it?

"They are there" they whispered "She is there."

"Who?" she replied in kind.

"Shtriga, they are in your village."

And that just meant trouble.
